Warfare expanded to include civilians through the deliberate targeting of civilian populations, infrastructure, and resources in order to weaken the enemy's will to continue fighting. This shift blurred the distinction between military and civilian targets, leading to increased civilian casualties and suffering. Additionally, the use of Propaganda and psychological operations targeted at civilian populations aimed to undermine support for the enemy and bolster morale for one's own side.

In 1250, limited warfare often resulted in civilians facing significant hardships, as conflicts were typically localized and involved specific territories. While some regions experienced minimal direct combat, others saw the devastation of resources, displacement, and the imposition of taxes or tributes to support military campaigns. Civilians might also be caught in the crossfire, leading to loss of life and property. Additionally, limited warfare sometimes meant that local populations were drawn into conflicts, either as soldiers or as victims of raids and pillaging by opposing forces.

The answer is - as with most things in warfare - "It Depends." Specifically targeting civilians for aerial bombing is now considered illegal. During WW2, however, both sides considered it a legitimate action, as a valid method to attack enemy public morale and to hurt enemy war production. In modern times, it is legal to bomb civilians, if they are next to military targets, and the attacker is not intentionally targeting the civilians. In general, reasonable (in military terms) mistakes which result in bombing civilians is also legal. Regardless of the "legality" of aerial bombings, there is a significant negative Propaganda effect that striking civilians has.
